Albany NetDs and Advertiser: Last week
the Ne,Os and Advertiser published the
particulars of the death of a little negro boy
from hydrophobia, caused by the bite of
mad dog, on the plantation of Dir. j. l..
Dozier, In the western part of this county.
We also published a sad story from Calhoun
county, in which Mr.. w. w. Rocks was re-
ported TO be raving mad from the effects of
place and attacked him in his own yard
on March 81. Yesterday we learned
that Mr.. Rocks was dead. This
morning we have two or three
more hydrophobic sensations to report.
From Mr.. A. 2. Rives, of Ducker's Station,
who was in the city yesterday, we learned
that COW belonging TO a negro named
Jerry Green, on Mr.. Dozier's place, died of
hydrophobia on Saturday. This COW was
bitten by the same dog that bit the little ne
gro whose death we reported last week. In
the same neighborhood, on Morehead & Sal
ters place, calf was attacked with rabies
and had to be shot on Sunday morning.
This calf was bitten by dog that is sup
posed TO have been bitten by the same dog
that bit the little negro and the COW
on Mr.. Dozier's place. The story of another
mad dog sensation comes from Baker
county. From Mr.. w. 7. Coley, of this
city, we learn that eight hogs belonging to
his father, Mr.. Reuben Coley, were wild
with rabies on Sunday. There had been
mad dog on the place, and he attacked the
hogs before he was killed. Mr.. Coley said
his fofbaY. haa oh Ind tc
kill the hogs on Sunday, as they are I'M
doubtedly suffering with rabies and are not
only dangerous in their present condition,
but doomed to die.
AT Milledgeville about II Is o'clock Mon
day night about twenty pistol shots rang
out on the quietness. Most of the citizens
had retired for the night, and those that had
not fastened to the scene of the shooting.
1t was near the old factory site, and on
reaching there the streets were full of negro
women screaming, stating that Alex Day
(colored), of Macon, had been killed. Such
proved not the case, but he left Immediately
for parts unknown and has not been heard
of since The trouble seems to have arose
from Days conduct on last Sunday evening
towards some white couples who were out
walking. He ran against one of
Switzerland, and used some rough
language in presence of the ladies. Mr.
Switzerland did not resent it there, but
Monday morning met Day in the post office
and had difficulty and Switzerland used a
stick pretty freely Everybody thought the
difficulty was over with, and did not pay
much attention to it; but it seems as if it
were only smothered to break out still more
furiously. The negro Day was stopping
with stated that about the hour mentioned
some one knocked at his door, and asked
if Day was in. He gave them an evasive
answer, but before he could say much Day
caught on to the racket and went out
of a window, and then the shooting
commenced. The parties wore only masks,
not trying to disguise in any other way
They ran him about three blocks when they
dispersed in time to avoid the crowd. The
negroes are indignant and are pushing an
investigation. 1t will not do for Day to
dawn in Milledgeville soon again, for he
would be roughly handled. Several negroes
who took prominent part have been served
with bucket letters and ordered to leave i'm
mediately.
